Sam’s P.O.V: 397Please respect copyright.PENANASvxLtLbQaP
397Please respect copyright.PENANASHvOdPO14Y
397Please respect copyright.PENANA34JWrlF4Iu
We were back at the café, where we had dumplings. It was the only place we could sit and talk, as there weren’t many people. Zoey, Mino, Lee, and I sat in one booth while the others sat in the next one. Mike and Daniel remained standing, watching what might unfold in front of them.397Please respect copyright.PENANAFvLQm1WPbG
397Please respect copyright.PENANAWV1XSzZ334
397Please respect copyright.PENANAWjy9ABTunZ
Lee, in her aunt outfit, really looked like an angry one as she said, "You really have a lot of explaining to do, Zoey. What were you thinking about going over to that club? Do you really want Collins to hang all of us?"397Please respect copyright.PENANALOMzuRBnXV
397Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8TUP0mS39
397Please respect copyright.PENANA19BDOO5ieB
"I was just going to talk to Johnny." Zoey tried to defend herself. "I wasn’t going to do anything stupid, I promise."397Please respect copyright.PENANA22SGmAQrvX
397Please respect copyright.PENANAfTX0za5jN2
397Please respect copyright.PENANAZhhV45LiGQ
"Then why didn’t you tell us what you planned to do?" I asked. "And don’t tell me that you knew I was going to refuse."397Please respect copyright.PENANAcOiHGSAdgT
397Please respect copyright.PENANA7d0IEZwQ4T
397Please respect copyright.PENANA0vTdY1AaJs
Zoey opened and closed her mouth instantly. She was going to say exactly that.397Please respect copyright.PENANARmAToEyXUB
397Please respect copyright.PENANAWtIdJcP4Mx
397Please respect copyright.PENANANBG8KEFpm7
"You know very well that Collins told us not to get near him," I continued. I turn to Mino. "And were you really going to follow through with her plan?"397Please respect copyright.PENANAFcpsGPagEK
397Please respect copyright.PENANAuDASUu3CYO
397Please respect copyright.PENANAGofw6BGX48
Mino shook his head. "I did try to tell her that it wasn’t a good idea," he answered. "Now I wish I was a bit firm with her."397Please respect copyright.PENANAkdcHk7RIK6
397Please respect copyright.PENANAqkZ58TlE12
397Please respect copyright.PENANAxnRPeT2AgJ
I sighed. I had no reason to be mad at Mino. Zoey can be persuasive sometimes. Moreover, there’s no denying that he likes her a lot and would do anything to please her a little.397Please respect copyright.PENANAbzfk94CRmp
397Please respect copyright.PENANA2oIxhgD5lk
397Please respect copyright.PENANA9dvQeLuJuO
"Okay, now that we have Zoey," said Mike, "can we have some fun, like, for real? We can’t end this night with a sour mood, right?"397Please respect copyright.PENANAZCvgtNxMd8
397Please respect copyright.PENANAFamTRN5qhq
397Please respect copyright.PENANA2v3OYjvtm4
"I agree," said Zoey. I quickly looked at her, and she covered her mouth. Right now, she has no right to suggest anything, not after what she did.397Please respect copyright.PENANAfMHxXKpXcr
397Please respect copyright.PENANArcIDweyTUP
397Please respect copyright.PENANAHMPEUiqAmb
"Yeah, you can hang out if you want," said Lee as she leaned back on the seat. "I’ll go back to the car. This search for Zoey really got me so worked up that I need a breather."397Please respect copyright.PENANADAMWcWVLB1
397Please respect copyright.PENANAiWTvF0ljIM
397Please respect copyright.PENANAb3NTNbfiTV
"What?" Christine came up from behind the booth, looking down at Lee. "I thought you wanted to try out those shoes that we saw earlier. And they are in your favorite color." 397Please respect copyright.PENANABkm8tUBZRO
397Please respect copyright.PENANAzvT1q8czuC
397Please respect copyright.PENANA8svtGNTP1H
"Yeah, come on, Lee," said Zoey. "Shopping isn’t fun without you. If you want, I’m going to accept any punishment you give me."397Please respect copyright.PENANAU4p5S62zql
397Please respect copyright.PENANAPV5Zs75rEP
397Please respect copyright.PENANA6vLBfuKSWW
Lee raised an eyebrow. "You went too far this time," she said. "How sure are you that I’m going to forgive you?"397Please respect copyright.PENANAMR6i181qGn
397Please respect copyright.PENANA0TBowgcEZe
397Please respect copyright.PENANA5g4hoOR0eN
"Because you see me every day, and staying mad at me is pointless," Zoey answered.397Please respect copyright.PENANACiaunnLEC2
397Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ekjtxu9wo
397Please respect copyright.PENANArif5FVpsR7
"I couldn’t have thought of a better answer," said Daniel.397Please respect copyright.PENANAh8ZzWtbsHk
397Please respect copyright.PENANAWBnAEsYZsp
397Please respect copyright.PENANA6P0teZqFhY
"Smart," said Lee. "But you’ll need a lot more than that to convince me to go shopping with you."397Please respect copyright.PENANAhctkCbDNBj
397Please respect copyright.PENANANk0bIwojhA
397Please respect copyright.PENANAWmlpgAno1W
Zoey turned to look at me, and I shook my head, telling her that even I don’t know what Lee wants. It’s best she figures that out for herself.397Please respect copyright.PENANADYiRD0Qeq7
397Please respect copyright.PENANAX7OKvvEPtD
397Please respect copyright.PENANA5kHWfa3JHj
"Come on, you guys," said Jungkook, who now came over by the booth. "We’re in Hongdae. We can’t let this opportunity slide. I can guarantee that we’re going to have a lot of fun."397Please respect copyright.PENANAi96rpPhHTy
397Please respect copyright.PENANAAxscXEzhlb
397Please respect copyright.PENANAFcZpjEC2DU
"Come on, Lee," said Christine. "Jungkook does have a point. Who knows if we will ever get to come back here with the busy schedule that we have? Let’s take advantage of the situation."397Please respect copyright.PENANAwOrF4OLTyr
397Please respect copyright.PENANAD29vK5AhY0
397Please respect copyright.PENANAgRoM9zhXXB
Everyone else started to chip in, doing his or her best to convince Lee. In the end, she gave in.397Please respect copyright.PENANAbfSILlHxdp
397Please respect copyright.PENANAr2OgFqdfrw
397Please respect copyright.PENANAKVDc1juJx9
"Okay, fine," said Lee. "But let’s remember to keep a low profile. We don’t want to attract attention to yourselves."397Please respect copyright.PENANAD9d3r322Ej
397Please respect copyright.PENANAhVy2ufZVHP
397Please respect copyright.PENANAbnh584CYBm
"Yes!" Zoey cheered loudly. "I knew you would come around."397Please respect copyright.PENANABjYEtNFlNi
397Please respect copyright.PENANAnAwcONKbHe
397Please respect copyright.PENANAtKyA1SBhWg
"I’m only doing this because Jimin, Jungkook, and Mino are here." Lee folded her arms as she looked the other way. "Don’t think you’re off the hook, Zoey."397Please respect copyright.PENANA5RXqmCenQD
397Please respect copyright.PENANAiYighvJ1GX
397Please respect copyright.PENANAiPYE4QPywb
"If you think I will forget, I won’t," said Zoey with a smile. Oh, she will definitely forget by tomorrow morning.397Please respect copyright.PENANAJwQITc4QIc
397Please respect copyright.PENANATGmOzikBWN
397Please respect copyright.PENANAzH90NBb5yz
"What do you suggest we do first?" I asked Jungkook.397Please respect copyright.PENANAdfwSJPOHFY
397Please respect copyright.PENANAU1iXsVOP5J
397Please respect copyright.PENANAsg0xiWqpku
"We can start by buying ourselves another serving of dumplings," said Daniel as he licked his lips and started to make his way to the counter.397Please respect copyright.PENANA6ctjJiJNaG
397Please respect copyright.PENANAWMe6D4Xxsn
397Please respect copyright.PENANAD0I24RtvJX
"Daniel, wait…" I called out to him. However, he was already at the counter. Christine apparently joined him. I shook my head. Something tells me that we might be carrying boxes of dumplings home once our stay in South Korea is over.397Please respect copyright.PENANA4sRk4BaE3O
397Please respect copyright.PENANALJId4Ouiny
397Please respect copyright.PENANAcSdA5xnlk6
"When those two get fat, Collins is so going to kill us," said Lee, shaking her head in disbelief.397Please respect copyright.PENANAFonL4yv0cP
397Please respect copyright.PENANAb6Zd4M96Pf
397Please respect copyright.PENANAoIUjwbmdGw
After we finished our dumplings, we had to walk a few blocks back to get the high-heeled shoes Lee wanted. Afterwards, we visited shops that sold traditional Korean outfits, which Zoey couldn’t help but admire. I remember telling myself when I first came here that I would get myself one. Therefore, I decided to look. Christine, Zoey, and Lee were so frantic about it that they also started to look at which Hanbok would look good on me giving their comments. I made a mental note not to tag them along when I get to look for my wedding dress in the future.397Please respect copyright.PENANAbMHfxvR4I1
397Please respect copyright.PENANAWexGgKMAx7
397Please respect copyright.PENANAyKmNVRrKC4
"This is the most excited I have ever seen them," said Jimin as he came to stand next to me.397Please respect copyright.PENANAKUxzkooFeT
397Please respect copyright.PENANAbt7t3OPK9g
397Please respect copyright.PENANA6kZb3SC2iZ
"Trust me, this is nothing," I said. "Whenever I want to try out something new, the three are always in the forefront of picking things instead of me."397Please respect copyright.PENANAvoVhB8unqw
397Please respect copyright.PENANAiOFQhRDPB7
397Please respect copyright.PENANAI3xKgfGEi1
"Yeah, and it’s annoying," said Mike, who was on the other side of the store going through the male section with Daniel and Mino.397Please respect copyright.PENANAfu8AAmv1Q9
397Please respect copyright.PENANAV2l2lVpszv
397Please respect copyright.PENANAB0J5SmGGgS
"Then maybe you should’ve come here at a later time without them," Mino suggested.397Please respect copyright.PENANAY0IlJLQJXz
397Please respect copyright.PENANAHZQ9S6eBcL
397Please respect copyright.PENANAW76KxdBzcr
"Nah, this time is fine since we've got such a busy schedule," I said. Before I could go to the next hanger of clothes, I stopped to look around. "Has anyone seen Jungkook?"397Please respect copyright.PENANA7Q8MumDFL0
397Please respect copyright.PENANA3s2UCAg3af
397Please respect copyright.PENANAMWDJ3ODfhF
The five of us who stayed close started to look around. Weird. He was behind Jimin a few seconds ago. He definitely hadn’t gone with Lee and the others. So where is he?397Please respect copyright.PENANAY4ToJAsRE9
397Please respect copyright.PENANAIx70g1c4XI
397Please respect copyright.PENANA64On44cwpX
"He’ll turn up," said Daniel. "Maybe he found something that he wanted to try on and is in the men’s room as we speak."397Please respect copyright.PENANAcjovmsxib5
397Please respect copyright.PENANAcmyWv1zXcc
397Please respect copyright.PENANAg3Ymme5xGc
"Wow, you sound casual." I gave Daniel a look. "What if he happens to get noticed? Then we’re all toast."397Please respect copyright.PENANAg1Hoxc3dyc
397Please respect copyright.PENANAVspk85O2NP
397Please respect copyright.PENANAuXyRcDdNF7
"You think too much," said Jimin. "I doubt if he has found something to go and try on. He would’ve told me first."397Please respect copyright.PENANAqtZWYIWHmN
397Please respect copyright.PENANAmOllTywqGu
397Please respect copyright.PENANAH9OHb6oGDQ
"Hey, Lee!" Jungkook's voice came from across the store. "Come see this."397Please respect copyright.PENANA03agknwxbn
397Please respect copyright.PENANAUcLE2QiJX0
397Please respect copyright.PENANAD5SUggrFte
Jimin and I turn in the direction of Jungkook’s voice. I see Lee, Christine, and Zoey rush to where he is. Don’t tell me he was also looking for something for me to wear.397Please respect copyright.PENANAMtYcJgWIh0
397Please respect copyright.PENANAbiC9GPsg6E
397Please respect copyright.PENANAcvsxDHlASC
I start to walk over to where Jungkook is, and Jimin happens to follow behind me. When I got close, I couldn’t help but see stars in the three women’s eyes as they looked at the Hanbok Jungkook picked out.397Please respect copyright.PENANAuqQIsnhACZ
397Please respect copyright.PENANAQfwdmuIZaj
397Please respect copyright.PENANAyRbaaqXMUb
"Ah, this is so pretty!" Zoey exclaimed. "Sam will look amazing in this one."397Please respect copyright.PENANAdt2Xkynvpk
397Please respect copyright.PENANAOhLVSbEleE
397Please respect copyright.PENANAiYm5xMzVYS
"What do you think, Sam?" Jungkook, showing me what he had chosen.397Please respect copyright.PENANAzcWUC0rZFn
397Please respect copyright.PENANA3H7b9poQaH
397Please respect copyright.PENANAXZPxiCYhA4
The Hanbok he picked was a white blouse and purple skirt. The skirt is beautifully designed with pleats and waist strings. At the bottom of the hem, there were beautiful flower patterns. I had to admit that Jungkook picked a pretty Hanbok.397Please respect copyright.PENANApO3U8nVIrg
397Please respect copyright.PENANA69QNmHtu5O
397Please respect copyright.PENANAZoYDEWOL9c
"It looks lovely," I commented.397Please respect copyright.PENANACI4BrGC6fO
397Please respect copyright.PENANA1elmlVFTSc
397Please respect copyright.PENANAZxe4jfdwhc
"Jungkook really has good taste," said Mino, who, with Mike and Daniel, came over to see.397Please respect copyright.PENANAcBxX08mBty
397Please respect copyright.PENANAUtXk860JRf
397Please respect copyright.PENANAxO7SWMLJcq
"You should put it on, Sam," said Jimin.397Please respect copyright.PENANAdqLkElAXyb
397Please respect copyright.PENANAybpaZwTV9P
397Please respect copyright.PENANA3K19wwJswq
"I’ll help you put the blouse on," said Lee. "It can get a little complicated when you’re trying it out for the first time."397Please respect copyright.PENANAqkfKZGavWM
397Please respect copyright.PENANAEXILnegN5E
397Please respect copyright.PENANAv48J1mH8DH
"Yeah, I will need the help."397Please respect copyright.PENANAfr2Oi8rNHs
397Please respect copyright.PENANAYG0eiRe9L6
397Please respect copyright.PENANAtW2de05lUA
Jungkook handed the dress to me, and I followed Lee to the changing rooms. I could hear Zoey and Christine giggle as I walked away, and I knew they were obviously talking about the outfit that Jungkook so happened to pick out.397Please respect copyright.PENANASHtNo5L7KM
397Please respect copyright.PENANAt67X11wbzG
397Please respect copyright.PENANAnv3n4lgoLF
Lee and I came to the women’s dressing rooms and entered one of the empty stalls. It felt so good to take the hoodie and mask off. In addition, when I started to change into the Hanbok, I couldn’t help but notice just how comfortable it felt. After Lee tied the strings of the skirt behind my back, I turned to look at the full-length mirror. I can’t believe that I’m actually wearing a Hanbok.397Please respect copyright.PENANAkFG9lzA4It
397Please respect copyright.PENANALEklYiIa3K
397Please respect copyright.PENANAiNEH1Fkpxq
"Oh, you look so pretty," said Lee as she stood behind me. She glanced at me in the mirror as if I were some gorgeous doll she had dressed up. "Your mum will think you’re adorable once I send her a picture."397Please respect copyright.PENANAsRVkyH8VDw
397Please respect copyright.PENANAiZrLyO2c9h
397Please respect copyright.PENANAl25xqt8XIb
Lee pulled out her phone and did just that. I turned to look at her with a glare.397Please respect copyright.PENANA8KiQmBxIEF
397Please respect copyright.PENANA9cCJTZacvE
397Please respect copyright.PENANARaOAnVbSph
"What?" Lee asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "It’s not my fault that you look pretty. Come on, the others are waiting to see you."397Please respect copyright.PENANAYHgdAMLPeo
397Please respect copyright.PENANAO1EjvFKxUp
397Please respect copyright.PENANAgG2gcT1IGa
"Oh, before I go out..." I turned around to where I lay aside my clothes to look for the mask. However, Lee took hold of my shoulders to lead me out of the changing room.397Please respect copyright.PENANAxvLysLsgG1
397Please respect copyright.PENANARcufWzwv3I
397Please respect copyright.PENANAlnKOytB0UG
"There aren’t many people in the shop," she said. "Don’t worry about a thing. The others are waiting for you outside."397Please respect copyright.PENANAo2eWmhNxGT
397Please respect copyright.PENANAijxIE2NJNz
397Please respect copyright.PENANA8qJq2ohLDf
Lee opened the door and led me out of the room. As expected, we found the others waiting outside the changing rooms. Christine and Zoey jumped with excitement as I appeared before them.397Please respect copyright.PENANAdDpLiX6IMV
397Please respect copyright.PENANAPwvT0Xqu0R
397Please respect copyright.PENANAu5ulEBLzxL
"You look so pretty, Sam," commented Zoey as I found her approaching me. "I have to say, the Hanbok really suits you."397Please respect copyright.PENANArJ7LH3bxGd
397Please respect copyright.PENANABA3X4bHucI
397Please respect copyright.PENANAtDWVyV4A4J
"Stop making me blush," I said as I nervously tucked a strand of my hair at the back of my ear.397Please respect copyright.PENANAZndpAnlx7V
397Please respect copyright.PENANAYQw3Mh9oAp
397Please respect copyright.PENANAUwsRcKC9F0
"No, it’s true," said Mike. "You look really lovely. I can’t believe I just said that."397Please respect copyright.PENANAU3H1F0Cdas
397Please respect copyright.PENANAIpBFgD4O2Z
397Please respect copyright.PENANA8McQj6eC39
"Same here," I said, giving off a nervous laugh.397Please respect copyright.PENANAIq3E5ucMP3
397Please respect copyright.PENANA6LLkOmCUOM
397Please respect copyright.PENANAebgtDuExjH
"Mum is going to love this," said Daniel, who had already pulled out his phone to take a picture.397Please respect copyright.PENANAE27F9NXvmV
397Please respect copyright.PENANAA4Fy3CrWRW
397Please respect copyright.PENANAdQD039LNwa
"I know, right?" Lee asked. "You definitely look adorable."397Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ5DNcWm0Y
397Please respect copyright.PENANAfYEwJ4pODE
397Please respect copyright.PENANAtIVLxqSmho
"You can say that again," said Mino as he smiled at me. "Once your fans see you, you’ll be the talk of the town."397Please respect copyright.PENANAFp0VvauN1e
397Please respect copyright.PENANAGdwtXqSJc5
397Please respect copyright.PENANASVZC4eg0rx
"Yeah, I know that," I said. "Please don’t post the pictures you’ve taken so soon. I don’t want people to know right away that I’m here."397Please respect copyright.PENANAkLS9ZHndJF
397Please respect copyright.PENANAp5kEvTGDe3
397Please respect copyright.PENANAjGkFjboiTS
"Don’t worry," said Christine. "The last thing we need is for us to do what Zoey did when she filmed you with G-Dragon and the video went viral."397Please respect copyright.PENANAMWjhvnakBn
397Please respect copyright.PENANAB9ZZLyQuLk
397Please respect copyright.PENANA4gJjxku8Qo
"Wait, that was you?" Mino asked, turning to look at Zoey.397Please respect copyright.PENANAUpZw6P0Nnx
397Please respect copyright.PENANAsnEcdDDBU0
397Please respect copyright.PENANAc0IsvBEGCW
Zoey folded her arms. "Yes," she answered, looking rather annoyed at Christine for bringing it up. "But I didn’t mean harm, and I did say I was never going to do that again."397Please respect copyright.PENANATbLgQu9xd6
397Please respect copyright.PENANAdoSRxCujgT
397Please respect copyright.PENANAYzJtn0DwkU
I saw Daniel, Mike, and Christine give Zoey a look, and I knew what they were thinking. It’s funny how Zoey could’ve remembered that. She usually doesn't, and there are times when you have to remind her. Anyway, it hasn't been too long since the incident happened.397Please respect copyright.PENANAiSox7pUV6I
397Please respect copyright.PENANAqH3NhLazsl
397Please respect copyright.PENANAsht9LVmFdx
"Smile here for the camera," said Jimin as he also had his phone out to take a picture. "You really did good choosing this Hanbok for her, Jungkook."397Please respect copyright.PENANAx2hH6Sgrse
397Please respect copyright.PENANAGR6qu7SxxL
397Please respect copyright.PENANA8xADHiDsd4
All Jungkook could do was smile under that facemask of his, which wasn’t hard to notice; just like everyone else, he was looking at me. The look in his eyes showed that he was proud of himself for picking out the Hanbok.397Please respect copyright.PENANAkgYrFr5huJ
397Please respect copyright.PENANA2hiZnFojT8
397Please respect copyright.PENANAp3wX0jD5Qh
"Thanks so much for picking this outfit for me, Jungkook," I said. "It’s really lovely. Not to mention that I just love the color purple."397Please respect copyright.PENANAbve5Arw9vX
397Please respect copyright.PENANA7AEBzQ4LTb
397Please respect copyright.PENANAnJbwgLK3V3
"Don’t mention it," said Jungkook. "I remembered that it's your favorite color."397Please respect copyright.PENANAOvO12mf7i7
397Please respect copyright.PENANA6sxbIB7Y87
397Please respect copyright.PENANAtLxYH7SLRP
I blushed, and for some reason, I thought of quickly turning away, especially when Christine and Zoey nudged at each other. I wish I could hit them on the head to stop them from mocking me.397Please respect copyright.PENANACsSFEBNUSY
397Please respect copyright.PENANAR2JBMJFpX1
397Please respect copyright.PENANATdCWMyiIPw
"Oh, yes, it is," said Mino. "You must really be a fanboy." He nudged Jungkook with his elbow.397Please respect copyright.PENANAkx3JNHCdVt
397Please respect copyright.PENANANGBRF7xva5
397Please respect copyright.PENANAM0vLxyAirG
"No, I’m not," Jungkook replied shyly. "I just so happened to come across that once online; that’s all it is."397Please respect copyright.PENANAUPVr0DXN3O
397Please respect copyright.PENANAdzZpPBHlcg
397Please respect copyright.PENANA7HNDJDQjb1
"I better go change," I said. This is getting embarrassing. "Are you all done with taking pictures?"397Please respect copyright.PENANAcHd91IZ8BM
397Please respect copyright.PENANAh1OtoehLSQ
397Please respect copyright.PENANAgDP2HqYmjn
Zoey and Christine replied no. As though they were photographers, they quickly took pictures. Others thought of taking photos with me still dressed in the Hanbok. Each person took a picture with me. Then we all took a photo together, with Mino being the one holding the camera and taking the selfie with everyone behind him.397Please respect copyright.PENANA1vZPP7xQrT
397Please respect copyright.PENANAstGaLcbBIU
397Please respect copyright.PENANADtpfZLUpPA
Afterwards, I went to change back into my clothes, with Lee helping me out again. When we came out of the changing room, we found that the others had dispersed to different parts of the store. I heard Zoey and Christine talking over which traditional attire to choose from.397Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ2aEh8TE3
397Please respect copyright.PENANAFIOk28wbYV
397Please respect copyright.PENANAm9pbEcizzW
"Finding a Hanbok is going to be hard for those two," said Lee as her eyes also fell on the pair.397Please respect copyright.PENANAEAAPzla4by
397Please respect copyright.PENANAogLpKvvf7g
397Please respect copyright.PENANAoLviGWH2oQ
I smiled. "Mine was a little easier, wasn’t it?" I asked.397Please respect copyright.PENANADY1YperNpw
397Please respect copyright.PENANAKCOB4h9KMD
397Please respect copyright.PENANAW3d05RsK18
"That’s because Jungkook found it." Lee looked at me. "Sometimes men know better than women when it comes to such things."397Please respect copyright.PENANAz8MS2ItvOW
397Please respect copyright.PENANAfxqAbXZkCN
397Please respect copyright.PENANAZjDcYRaGhu
I would’ve agreed with her, but that sent me blushing somehow. It was sweet of Jungkook to find me such a pretty Hanbok. I just wish Zoey and Christine wouldn't mock me about it.397Please respect copyright.PENANAm4kJhfb8Qf
397Please respect copyright.PENANAv3BYsXV63j
397Please respect copyright.PENANAUm9W6GP9Cs
I told Lee that I would be going over to the counter to pay for the attire. She said she would accompany me.397Please respect copyright.PENANA1BPHBjvXJg
397Please respect copyright.PENANA28vyWOz84M
397Please respect copyright.PENANAF9s1rrnWHu
"Aren’t you going to find a Hanbok for yourself?" I asked.397Please respect copyright.PENANAtcgT0aFv39
397Please respect copyright.PENANA2maOkYhdVa
397Please respect copyright.PENANAacHkmSalAU
"Nah," she replied. "They’re gorgeous to wear, but I’m just not interested like you were."397Please respect copyright.PENANAkk9Dpvm5N5
397Please respect copyright.PENANAu3GnG4ywLz
397Please respect copyright.PENANAEZQj54b7c1
"Point taken," I said.397Please respect copyright.PENANAJeKzBTjxF5
397Please respect copyright.PENANAjZS4rDZFOc
397Please respect copyright.PENANAFb7iyTSZgq
When we got to the counter and paid for the Hanbok, the rest of the others joined us. I started to look around for Christine and Zoey, but they were nowhere near the female clothes section. Did they find outfits and decide to go try them?397Please respect copyright.PENANAXQ9RCMesh4
397Please respect copyright.PENANAT9NhNkkfXN
397Please respect copyright.PENANAF7LShf1Gjd
"Has anyone seen Christine and Zoey?" I asked the others.397Please respect copyright.PENANAxokcS8Ug6f

Jimin shook his head. "I wasn't paying attention," he answered.397Please respect copyright.PENANAKHshP4k6lm
397Please respect copyright.PENANAK7hj25n1cK

"With that Hanbok, do you plan on buying the traditional shoes that match with it?" Mino asked.397Please respect copyright.PENANAqCdGEYvIfX
397Please respect copyright.PENANA9NaTGyvHEt
397Please respect copyright.PENANA8pLpfboptM
"To be honest, I never thought of it," I said as I looked at the Hanbok, now packed in a black garment bag. "Maybe I should."397Please respect copyright.PENANAyQYPormBSd
397Please respect copyright.PENANAdQEvYRxSEI
397Please respect copyright.PENANArSeKJWC2on
A woman by the counter said, "There are some shoes that you can look at. I suggest you get the white ones to match the dress."397Please respect copyright.PENANAYgM1PXVlcD
397Please respect copyright.PENANAJS2aaTRO98
397Please respect copyright.PENANA1TygVFR9bh
"I can help out if you like," Jungkook offered.397Please respect copyright.PENANADt60YfOhkm
397Please respect copyright.PENANAYQMxUo9aQg
397Please respect copyright.PENANA32ooo1G9wH
I gave him a nod of my head, and we went over to the shoe section, not far from the counter. Jimin and Mino had nothing to do, so they joined us. Mike and Daniel decided to look around a little.397Please respect copyright.PENANAAbfIg5slGw
397Please respect copyright.PENANADy04eWN8Mk
397Please respect copyright.PENANA935X2UORhp
With Jimin and Mino around, I discovered there were three types of women’s shoes that could go with a Hanbok. Kkotshin, which are silk shoes with flowery embroidery. Unhye are low-cut silk shoes decorated with cloud-shaped silk pieces. Then there are dinghy, which are low-cut leather shoes with scroll patterns. There were all pretty shoes, which made it difficult to pick. Even with the others’ help, they were having a hard time choosing. I noticed how much time had passed while looking for a pair of shoes and how long Lee had been gone to look for the girls.397Please respect copyright.PENANAtTVAjs4Z6w
397Please respect copyright.PENANAMEpOsSNIQF
397Please respect copyright.PENANATSskIyVCHt
"I wonder what’s taking them so long," I said as I turned to look around. There was no sign of them anywhere.397Please respect copyright.PENANAE1pDudJMQQ
397Please respect copyright.PENANAypN7sEvs3y
397Please respect copyright.PENANABzYpaoYRPr
The others didn’t seem to hear me, as Jimin said that he might have found a shoe for me. Mino and Jungkook joined him to see what he had picked. He picked white kkotshin shoes.397Please respect copyright.PENANABmd2w0zXO9
397Please respect copyright.PENANAyKIlBYqVHb
397Please respect copyright.PENANA0rQXwBOzfI
"This will look great on you," said Mino. He checked the shoe size underneath it. "And it’s just your size. You should try it on."397Please respect copyright.PENANA3OKaoTaqgs
397Please respect copyright.PENANA2GfI3ETLsJ
397Please respect copyright.PENANASw0oPt6uWm
I took my shoes off and put the white kkotshins on. They fit perfectly, and the gold flower embroidery on the shoes added a nice touch. It will suit the dress very well.397Please respect copyright.PENANAJUj2ne9tLi
397Please respect copyright.PENANAkw7wnFAI1Y
397Please respect copyright.PENANAz90t2iLmSk
After removing the shoes and wearing my shoes again, I notice Mino looking around as though looking for something. He must be looking for Zoey and the others.397Please respect copyright.PENANA0FBLKBBAjr
397Please respect copyright.PENANAkKyftuSsPJ
397Please respect copyright.PENANAqAgr67evHz
"Hey, don’t you think the ladies have taken too long?" he asked.397Please respect copyright.PENANATuAHmTvOPm
397Please respect copyright.PENANAZeWpUBxjsI

Mino and Jungkook decided to come with me. Jimin said he would wait by the counter. We first went to the changing rooms. The two men waited outside while I went in. There were four changing rooms, two on either side. Three rooms were occupied, while one remained empty. I decided to call out to see if Zoey was here.397Please respect copyright.PENANAxp3pWLu1W0
397Please respect copyright.PENANAqU1nOv7LOt
397Please respect copyright.PENANAeJwJNkhyJr

397Please respect copyright.PENANAwsU7AOfTE6
397Please respect copyright.PENANAoqSwhgqe98
I didn’t get a response until I heard someone muttering; it sounded like Zoey. Likewise, I walked over to the door of the changing room, where I was hearing the noise, and knocked on the door.397Please respect copyright.PENANAH1SYKy9wfT
397Please respect copyright.PENANANOB8FX3pAn

"Sam, thank goodness," she responded. "Please come in. I can’t seem to get this blouse off, and it's killing me."397Please respect copyright.PENANAIUC6yg5TUr
397Please respect copyright.PENANAIZF5yCqWEV
397Please respect copyright.PENANAApD2cjVaJD
I rolled my eyes as I opened the door. For sure, I found Zoey struggling to get the blouse off. I helped her wear it again before properly removing it for her.397Please respect copyright.PENANA8vMx1zoUk5

"Yeah, she was. Then she went out, looking for Christine. I would’ve asked her to help me out, but then she went out because it’s been a while since Christine's been gone."397Please respect copyright.PENANAkxzYKbHIds
397Please respect copyright.PENANAPBTk2rdJn5
397Please respect copyright.PENANAtINNeUF4Kq
Strange. Where are the two of them now? I told Zoey that she would find me outside the changing room. I walk out, and not only do I find Mino and Jungkook, but Lee as well.397Please respect copyright.PENANAkim0PydNBt

Lee still had a phone by her ear. A minute later, she shook her head and said, "She isn’t picking up her phone."397Please respect copyright.PENANAL1e3f8Bh8c

"She still isn’t picking up her phone," said Lee, now with a worried look on her face. "It’s not like her not to answer her phone."397Please respect copyright.PENANAKEd6UmhyHi
397Please respect copyright.PENANAzWWwifZIm1
397Please respect copyright.PENANAUmCbTAECQy

397Please respect copyright.PENANAEAC46dAvke
397Please respect copyright.PENANAaWnlx1xDO2
We all turned to look at Zoey with weird looks. Why is she bringing Johnny up all of a sudden?397Please respect copyright.PENANAMv3JZiVCMh
397Please respect copyright.PENANAz83BPFXjzY
397Please respect copyright.PENANARheEC3LsR1
"Now you’re being paranoid," said Mino. "We all know where he went, and Hongdae is a big place. How can he have found Christine out of the blue?"397Please respect copyright.PENANAGFz68wWBNj
397Please respect copyright.PENANAmvO44VQ4Gp

"It’s too early to assume anything," said Jungkook. "It looks like she went out without telling us where she was going."397Please respect copyright.PENANA4LoFrwa3R4
397Please respect copyright.PENANA0LzyEyWvC2
397Please respect copyright.PENANADUJOqzkl3Y

397Please respect copyright.PENANAj8uFMDsD8g

397Please respect copyright.PENANAF8jNoSvdUm
Everyone agreed, and we joined Jimin at the counter, who had already paid for my shoes. I told him he didn’t have to, but he insisted that it was the least he could do. Zoey decided to pay for the Hanbok she had picked. When Jimin asked Zoey if she was going to get some matching shoes too, she said she would come by later when we found Christine.397Please respect copyright.PENANAyZJvOkP6ob
397Please respect copyright.PENANAZgW0zEECrM

397Please respect copyright.PENANAC8sg1bAyfj
I was walking down the crowded Hongdae Street, thinking to myself, Sam and the others are going to murder me for abandoning them like that. My phone had beeped for a second time, and I found Lee was calling again. I can’t pick up and tell her where I am going. She would tell the others, and they would definitely come after me. I do hope they don’t worry about me too much. After the stunt Zoey pulled, my disappearing act might just put them on edge.397Please respect copyright.PENANAUqjY06PTf0
397Please respect copyright.PENANACDivPlzeId

Then why am I out here?397Please respect copyright.PENANAuGJJ7yvnek
397Please respect copyright.PENANA4B55UK95eC
397Please respect copyright.PENANARA38chyBBj
Simple, really. While I was helping dress Zoey into the Hanbok, I received a text from Jinwoo. I told Zoey that I would be right back and texted him back. He was asking where I was, and I told him about Hongdae Street and finding Zoey. It so happens that he was also around the area and wanted us to meet. I didn’t want to tell anyone, for they might make fun of me, and that’s why I left like I did.397Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ9ALbQr8f
397Please respect copyright.PENANAsYUWbWtDNH
397Please respect copyright.PENANAKkQfXOFC6P
Jinwoo gave me directions to where he was, and I noticed that the place had many restaurants and small outdoor eating venues. I don’t know why, but meeting him made me feel a little nervous and excited at the same time. It isn’t normal, is it?397Please respect copyright.PENANAE6A5vQa8LJ
397Please respect copyright.PENANAP7244EQrks
397Please respect copyright.PENANAfkZAbxk8nz
I finally arrived at the outdoor restaurant. The brightly lit bulbs that lit the place and the green leaf decoration that acted as a roof above the restaurant made it look spontaneous. It didn’t take long to spot Jinwoo sitting on the table in the middle of the restaurant. There weren’t many people around, so he easily noticed me as well. He stood up from his chair as I walked over.397Please respect copyright.PENANAtTSwGbMZQV
397Please respect copyright.PENANA4XeKxSpxC7
397Please respect copyright.PENANAcUv3KlWIDy
"Hi, Jinwoo," I said when I got to the table. "I didn’t take too long, did I?"397Please respect copyright.PENANAdLa8k3JGwF
397Please respect copyright.PENANAWmBz24srWQ
397Please respect copyright.PENANAOxhncE0yeE

397Please respect copyright.PENANAIRlZdykhen
397Please respect copyright.PENANA2RVidq4Y96
I sat down, and he went over to take his seat. We sat facing each other, and I couldn’t help but blush. I still wore the disguise, and I’m surprised that Jinwoo recognized me. He also wore a black mask covering the lower part of his face, and I can’t help but notice the blue jean jacket and black shirt that he wore with matching black jeans and white canvas shoes. He looked so cool. Why am I blushing so much?397Please respect copyright.PENANAvLN4BxHIj4
397Please respect copyright.PENANAZmbYiNUpR1
397Please respect copyright.PENANAjjjzd4CPD5
"The others aren’t going to be worried about you disappearing on them, are they?" Jinwoo asked.397Please respect copyright.PENANAQkfEISvaoK
397Please respect copyright.PENANAf4Wv5yhH0a
397Please respect copyright.PENANAsg8oBiXVg0
"Nah." I playfully shook my head. "They will be fine. I bet they think I went over to the dumpling shop and will be back soon."397Please respect copyright.PENANAj3TdadamGy
397Please respect copyright.PENANAdwD4vsdWb9
397Please respect copyright.PENANAAo3LSs8pzP
"Anyway," said Jinwoo as he picked up the menu on the table. "Let’s order before it gets too late. There’s a special Korean cuisine that I would like for you to try out. Will that be fine?"397Please respect copyright.PENANAIWu7xlDHx5
397Please respect copyright.PENANAMn2PPeUCIi
397Please respect copyright.PENANAR7h9mLi68z
"Ah." I was caught absentminded for a bit, as I couldn’t stop staring at Jinwoo. When he asked, his eyes found mine staring at him, and I felt like hiding under the table in embarrassment. I cleared my throat to answer. "Yeah, sure."397Please respect copyright.PENANA5ACXsdyV4b
397Please respect copyright.PENANAv4TuB83hEl
397Please respect copyright.PENANAUlix7OUR1Z
I could tell Jinwoo was smiling at me under that mask. He turned to look for the waiter nearby. There was one behind him, and he called out for his attention. The waiter came over, and he talked politely in Korean as Jinwoo made the order.397Please respect copyright.PENANAHOikvLOFMD
397Please respect copyright.PENANAiArp6Ecatn
397Please respect copyright.PENANAomGk0BR5Aj
With all that is going on, I couldn’t help but blush so much, and my heart beat fast with each dying minute. This whole thing felt more like a date. Is it? I don’t think so, but I wonder what Jinwoo thinks of this. Maybe I shouldn’t ask. Gosh, I swallowed as I tried to prevent a squeal from leaving my mouth.397Please respect copyright.PENANABKGFvGWOGh
